Message: [QUOTE="Renegade, post: 3471463, member: 1928"] It's a tough balancing act. You don't want clubs with rich footballing history that have been around 100+ years ceasing to exist because they've spent well beyond their means in trying to keep up with everyone else. At the same time, FFP does create an in and an out group - if you dont have the money now you'll never have it because anytime you're on the rise the big clubs will vulture you and leave you with nothing. How is a club like Wolverhampton meant to compete with City when you can only spend what you earn through legit means and City can artificially inflate their own sponsorship and create 100m out of fresh air? At least previously, some tycoon could come in and pump his own money into a lesser profile club and give them a realistic shot at taking on the big boys/muscling their way into the party. These days? No chance. And it's not like you can set a salary cap either because we've already seen in City's case, players being paid via third party means. I wonder how the Americans get away with it in their respective leagues without gaming the system like City do? [/QUOTE]
